I would like to personally thank all of the volunteers who have put in countless hours to help my campaign this summer.  One of our volunteers even took a t-post driver to the head last week and required 3 stitches – who knew campaigning could be a full-contact sport!  (No word on the condition of the t-post driver).  The campaign is full-steam ahead and August 3rd will be here before you know it (only 26 days away).  I am truly humbled by all the support our campaign continues to receive and was very excited to see that momentum continue to grow during the 4th of July weekend.  The 4th of July is more than parades and fireworks – it’s about independence – and we thank God for that.

The July 4th weekend took us to numerous community festivals and parades throughout the 6th District.  We started off the weekend with a street fair and fireworks show in Holts Summit on July 1st.  We passed out tons of candy and frisbees at the parades in Jefferson City, Eldon, and the High Point Festival on July 3rd, and wrapped up the parade circuit on the 4th of July in California.  Our team of two 2100-pound Belgian horses was worn out, but much like our volunteers, they are ready and willing to do whatever it takes to get our message out!  

Our Flapjack Tour has already completed 13 of its 24 scheduled stops and the response has been excellent.  We have visited with hundreds of folks throughout the District over fresh pancakes and coffee – I’m not sure our green shirt helpers will ever eat pancakes again after our last stop on July 31st.  The Flapjack Tour is headed to St. Elizabeth this Saturday, Russellville on Monday, Auxvasse on Tuesday, and Mary’s Home / Eugene on Thursday, so be sure to stop by and say hello.  Feel free to check our website if you would like to see a list of the remaining stops so you can come and join us.
